My Daughters DIY Flower Bouquet For Her Friend

IMG_1696726573813.jpg

Hello lovely hivers first of all let me greet you a blessed Sunday morning. Tomorrow is another busy day for everyone, mommy's, workers and most specialty students. May I asked you one thing how close are you with your former classmates? Well my daughter is so closed that she treat her like her sibling.

My eldest is already senior highschool grade 12 followed by two boys grade 8 and grade 2. And my youngest a baby girl 4 years old who also study as a daycare or nursery. The long age gap of my two girls leads my eldest to be so close to her friends. They were friends since grade 7 that was long enough to tell they are really close. I already met them personally, I saw them laugh, tease each other, thrilled whenever they talk about their crushes. And seeing them reminds me of my old friends but already had a family of their own. We rarely see each other maybe once or twice a year. But social media keeps us connected. I told her to include her friends in her dreams because I saw how they made her happy.

And tomorrow is Jasmine's 17th birthday. My daughter told me that she want to gave her something unique. Making an effort instead of buying in the store, besides we don't have a spare. Jasmine's things are a bit expensive, her stuff that given by her elder sister and relative. My daughter felt that her effort will make her friend happy so here's DIY Flower Bouquet for her best friend.
